Grace Cornett Obituary

Grace Annamae Cornett was born on September 27, 2011 and joined her brother Cullen in heaven on June 17, 2013. Gracie brought a special joy into all the lives she touched. She often responded to others with an excitement that literally shook her whole body and enveloped you with happiness. She was well loved and will be deeply missed. Gracie is survived by her parents, Johnny and Anna Cornett; her paternal grandparents, Larry and Peg Cornett; her maternal grandparents, Keith and Mary Beth Hollinger; her uncle, Benjamin Hollinger; her aunt, Carla Starkie, and five cousins. A private service of close family and friends will be held Saturday. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts be made to the Grace Annamae Cornett Memorial Fund at Ent Federal Credit Union (#614085).

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Johnny and Anna,
I have thought about and prayed for you many times since I heard what happened. I will continue to pray for the upcoming weeks, and months and years as you try to process the loss of your precious little girl. I can't imagine what you guys are going through...once again. I can't imagine the questions you must have. I pray that God will somehow pick up the broken pieces of your hearts and lives and bring peace and healing.

Anna & Johnny, you have been in our thoughts and prayers since the night I got N's phone call. My heart breaks for you both as you grieve for your beautiful baby girl. We will continue to keep you in our prayers for peace and comfort from God who now holds Gracie until you can be with her again. Much love to you both,

My sweet Gracie, I love and miss you so much! Johnny and Anna, I love you guys dearly! Johnny has always been my brother more so than my cousin. It's funny because he referred to me as "Aunt Sue Sue" to Gracie last summer when we were visiting at Aunt Sandra's. My heart breaks for you still and always will at the loss you guys have endured. I just try to think about Gracie and Cullen running around heaven, having a blast and it brings me tears of joy! We will see them again soon! I love you both and you both know you can call me anytime!
Love you,
Sue Sue

Johnny & Anna, my heart hurts for you. I wish I could reach out across the miles & hold you tight. When Lynnette called me, I was speechless. I can't tell you I know how you feel because there is no way I can identify with your pain. Rest assured that I will be praying for you.

My heart shattered into a millions pieces when I found out Gracie had sneaked away into Heaven. As great a place as she is in now, I can't imagine your lives without her on earth. Besides the fact that she can now see Jesus face to face, the only other thing bringing me comfort, is knowing Cullen is tenderly caring for his precious sister in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Marilyn & Mike

I can't say in words how much my heart hurts for you two, Johnny and Anna, and for the rest of the family too. I wish I could be there with you. I am so glad I did have the pleasure of Gracie visiting me in Alabama. Gracie was so precious and it was seen by everyone that met her. She had a big smile everytime you would talk to her. I will not forget all of the wonderful comments from the different waitresses that came by our table, when we went to dinner, when Johnny, Anna and Gracie came to visit. It was like they were drawn toward Gracie just to speak to her and see her smile. She was a sweet and beautiful girl. I love you all!

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gracie is in the presence of Christ and will rejoice at the reunion you all will have someday. Meanwhile we do not know why but we do know that God is good. Hold on for Gracie!
